Edge Gateway
A hardware device deployed on the factory floor that handles protocol conversion, data cleansing, local caching and low-latency inference. It is a core component of edge computing architectures.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Edge gateways take on responsibilities such as protocol conversion (e.g., converting Modbus or OPC UA to MQTT), local caching and store-and-forward during network outages, and data filtering and downsampling, and often run lightweight inference to enable local alerts at millisecond-to-second latency.
The typical layered architecture of edge computing is: at the field level, edge gateways or industrial PCs handle protocol conversion, data cleaning, local caching, and low-latency inference; above that is the plant-level edge server or private cloud, which handles multi-production-line data aggregation and model inference; the top layer is the public cloud or group data center, used for cross-factory analysis, model training, and long-term archiving.
Deploying edge gateways to perform protocol conversion and preliminary data aggregation is a common solution for connecting legacy industrial equipment
